Brad Pitt has never been shy about pushing boundaries, but his latest move is turning heads for a different reason.
To promote his upcoming film F1, the 61-year-old actor posed shirtless, offering a rare glimpse of his heavily tattooed chest and arms.
Reclining on a yellow sofa in off-white slacks, Pitt’s ink-covered torso made a striking statement, proving that his body art is more than just for show—it’s personal.
A History of Ink
Pitt’s tattoo journey dates back to his relationship with Angelina Jolie, who is well known for her intricate body art.
Some of his tattoos closely resemble Jolie’s own, including a few Cambodian-inspired designs.
He even has markings dedicated to her, such as her birthday inked on his lower abdomen and the letter “A” prominently placed near a cross on his arm.
His fascination with tattoos has always been evident, but this latest reveal showcases the full extent of his collection.
The Meaning Behind the Tattoos
Every tattoo on Pitt’s body has a story to tell.
On his left forearm, he sports a French phrase that translates to “life is absurd.”
Just below that, there’s a sketch of Ötzi the Iceman, the world’s oldest preserved mummy, accompanied by the Latin word “Invictus,” meaning “unconquerable.”
A long, thin vertical line runs up his right arm, intersecting a horizontal one just below his wrist to form a cross.
To the left of the cross is the letter “A” for Angelina, while the right side features the initials of their six children: Maddox (M), Pax (P), Zahara (Z), Shiloh (S), Knox (K), and Vivienne (V).
Other notable tattoos include:
- Alpha and Omega symbols
- A motorcycle sketch on his upper arm
- Text by poet Rumi tattooed on his right bicep, reading: “There exists a field, beyond all notions of right and wrong. I will meet you there.”
- A silhouette of a man above his shadow
- A tornado, a rhinoceros head, and a human skull tattooed on his legs
- Lines drawn by Jolie, which he later had permanently inked on his back
Behind the Scenes of F1
Pitt’s highly anticipated film F1 is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025.
Filmed at real-life Formula 1 races around the world, the project has been in the works for several years.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.
Directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, F1 follows Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a retired driver who returns to the racing circuit to mentor a younger teammate, played by Damson Idris.
The movie captures the intensity of professional racing, incorporating real F1 drivers, teams, and tracks to enhance authenticity.
A Stunt That Fooled Fans
One of the most buzzed-about moments from the film’s production was Pitt’s dramatic fainting scene during a race in Las Vegas.
Dressed in full driving gear, he was filmed stumbling and collapsing on the track, sparking concern among fans—until it was revealed to be part of the script.
To add to the realism, APX GP, the fictional team in the movie, even released a mock statement about the incident, building anticipation for the film’s release.
A Star-Studded Production
Beyond starring in F1, Pitt is also serving as a producer alongside Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
The film was created with the full support of the F1 community, with all 10 racing teams, drivers, and the FIA collaborating to ensure accuracy.
Apple acquired the project for an estimated $130–$140 million, excluding salaries for the cast and crew.
The first trailer, released in July, gave fans an adrenaline-pumping preview.
It features Pitt behind the wheel, pushing his race car to its limits as Queen’s We Will Rock You plays in the background.
With high-speed action, real-world racing footage, and Pitt’s undeniable charisma, F1 is shaping up to be a must-watch.
What’s Next for Brad Pitt?
With F1 set to race into theaters next summer, Pitt continues to dominate Hollywood with his ability to take on new and challenging roles.
His bold tattoo reveal adds yet another layer to his ever-evolving persona, keeping fans intrigued both on and off the screen.
Whether it’s behind the wheel or showing off his inked-up body, one thing is certain—Brad Pitt knows how to make a statement.
